Boat and Ferry Travel

You can take ferries to St. Barth (45-80 minutes, €67-€93 from the Dutch or French side, though you can pay in dollars); to Anguilla (20 minutes, $25 from the French side); and to Saba (one to two hours, $90-$100 from the Dutch side). Babou One, a new, stabilized, air-conditioned boat run by West Indies Ferry Express, offers service between Marigot and Gustavia in only 70 minutes, timed to connect with international flights to and from St. Maarten's Princess Juliana Airport.
